First Choice is an HVAC Company in Florence, SC. We provide honest furnace service across Florence, Quinby, Effingham, and West Florence.

When your furnace stops heating, or starts making sounds it shouldn’t, the first call you make matters. And we have one philosophy:

Repair when it’s fixable, maintenance before it breaks, and replacement only when the numbers say it makes sense.

Common Furnace Problems We Fix in Florence

Furnace won’t ignite or won’t stay lit: usually an igniter, flame sensor, or gas valve issue.
Furnace blowing cold air: often a faulty limit switch, dirty filter, or duct leak
Short cycling (turns on and off repeatedly): can be a clogged filter, cracked heat exchanger, or thermostat fault.
Strange banging, popping, or squealing: expansion sounds, loose panels, or a blower motor bearing.
Furnace running but rooms won’t get warm: often a duct issue or undersized system, not the furnace itself.

Every repair visit includes a carbon monoxide safety check. A cracked heat exchanger is a health issue. We check it every time.

Option 1: Repair	Option 2: Rebuild	Option 3: Replace
One component failed. Igniter, sensor, gas valve, or motor. We fix the specific part and restore heat today.	Furnace works but loses efficiency. Cleaning, sealing, and recalibrating restore performance without full replacement.	System is beyond economical repair — typically 18+ years old or a major component (heat exchanger) failure. We tell you straight.

Furnace Maintenance in Florence, SC

“No, you don’t need a ‘seasonal contract.’ Just a one-time tune-up when you actually need it.”

— Kevin You. First.

Florence may not get Boston winters, but your furnace still needs annual attention. Occasional hard freezes — paired with a system that sat idle all summer — make a pre-winter inspection genuinely worthwhile.

What’s Included in a Florence Furnace Tune-Up

Heat exchanger crack inspection (CO safety — critical)
Burner cleaning and combustion efficiency test
Gas pressure verification
Igniter and safety control inspection
Flue and venting check for proper exhaust
Filter check and replacement (if needed)
Blower motor lubrication and amp draw test
Thermostat operation and calibration

Service Shield members get their furnace tune-up automatically scheduled every fall — before the cold gets here.

Furnace Installation in Florence, SC

If your furnace is more than 15 years old, running R-22, or costing more to maintain than a replacement would cost to finance, it might be time to have an honest conversation about a new system.

Furnaces We Install in Florence

High-efficiency gas furnaces (up to 98% AFUE) — significant savings on natural gas bills
Electric furnaces and air handlers — for all-electric Florence homes
Dual-fuel systems (heat pump + gas furnace backup) — maximum efficiency with cold-weather reliability

Considering a heat pump or ductless system instead of a new furnace? Florence’s mild winters make a heat pump an excellent year-round option for many Pee Dee homes — and federal tax credits of up to $2,000 are available for qualifying installations. We’ll help you compare both paths honestly.

Heat Pump Services

Financing available through Lend Home Improvements — up to $75,000 for qualified borrowers, fixed monthly payments.

Our furnace quit during the night. They were able to make the service call in the afternoon, diagnosed the problem quickly and did a full service check. All is well and working and we were really pleased with the professionalism and the pricing. Thank you to Michael and team.

Trevor came out with the two technicians and went over the paper work and what was going to be done. The technicians were wonderful! They were very neat, respectful and explained everything as they went along. We discussed the filtration system that was to be installed

My experience with First Choice was wonderful. I was running behind and my tech, Josh, was very patient and waited without charging me extra for “wasting” 15 minutes of his time. He worked quickly and professionally, diagnosing my issue and ultimately fixing it in minutes.
